Today’s enterprises deploy and manage physical servers running Windows, Linux, Unix, and other operating systems across many locations to support their most critical business functions. This makes choosing the right physical server backup solution critical. The goal is to protect physical servers from data loss and long-term outages, which can incur significant financial and productivity costs.
A cost-effective and reliable backup and recovery solution for physical servers is even more important because enterprises face many data challenges , including:
- Data growth: Growing volumes of data increase the complexity and cost of backup and recovery for physical servers.
- Regulatory changes: Ever-changing compliance mandates like HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI make Microsoft physical servers backups considerably more complex.
- Increasing costs: The more data organizations have, the more the business has to pay for bandwidth, storage, and data management.
- Slow backups and restores: As data grows, backups and restores take longer to complete, and performance can degrade significantly.
- More complex environments: Enterprise businesses store and access data across many locations, including on-prem, edge, and cloud, complicating the management, security, and protection of data across all these environments.
